Pandemic of riffs
A list of my favourite and highly contagious riffs.. Because why not I gotta be at home and I'm bored af. Some of these are included not only because of the riff itself but some other elements that may be adding to it |
1 | | Isis Oceanic
False Light [00:49] - easily my all time favourite riff, its heavy, like being punched in the face type of heavy. the drumming adds up to it |
2 | | Callisto True Nature Unfolds
Masonic [01:06] - this one always seemed similar to the one in False Light while also being its own thing, the set up is slightly better, imo |
3 | | Gaza No Absolutes in Human Suffering
The Crown [00:00] - What I would describe as controlled chaos |
4 | | Mouth Of The Architect Quietly
A Beautiful Corpse [00:00] - one of the best examples of a band being naturally heavy without relying on fast tempos |
5 | | Blindead Affliction XXIX II MXMVI
My new playground became [05:10] - cathartic ending, this goes hard |
6 | | The Mire Glass Cathedrals
Triple Gemini [00:00] - This album on its own has a lot of sludgy riffs, this one's a treat tho and hands down my favourite song ever recorded by this band (RIP) |
7 | | Bossk .1
I [05:08] - This track has smooth ambience for a solid 3 or so minutes and then they just bombard you with insanity |
8 | | Follow The White Rabbit Endorphinia
Few Stories Of A Deserted Forest [02:10] - So, these guys have an odd experimental vibe that may turn some people off but this moment in particular is pure audio porn |
9 | | Burst Lazarus Bird
(We Watched) The Silver Rain [04:00] - Yea, there's a buildup to this riff and the follow up is insanely good but I'm still gonna mention it because it stands out |
10 | | Twelve Tribes Midwest Pandemic
Pagan Self Portrait [03:09] - This hits near the end and its just delicious |
11 | | Advent Naked and Cold
Nothing [00:00] - this one's for the rawrs |
12 | | The Chariot One Wing
Not [00:34] - One of the most chaotic riffs, there's plenty to choose from in this track. This band was the zone |
13 | | Training for Utopia Plastic Soul Impalement
A Good Feeling [00:52] - This is what hate sounds like |
14 | | Be'lakor Stone's Reach

A Plea: A Promise [00:26] |
21 | | Converge Jane Doe
Hell to Pay [03:21] |
22 | | Cult Leader A Patient Man
I Am Healed [00:13] - From an album that was so heavily criticised for having.. variety I guess, you still can't deny that the opening track is goddamn shockwave |
23 | | The Secret Luce
Close To Me, Inside My Heart [00:27] - |
24 | | Poison the Well You Come Before You
Crystal Lake [00:27] - this song is fully appreciated when listening to the entire album, the pacing of the track-list is so perfect that it only makes the closure that much more satisfying. Oh the riff? It's awesome, get on that shit |
25 | | Amia Venera Landscape The Long Procession
My Hands Will Burn First [00:00] - Man this riff is just brilliant and again I gotta mention the pacing of the album itself that adds up to it. This riff is reused on Nicholas, in a slightly darker tone, I guess? It's details like this that made TLP such a rewarding album to listen to while having individual moments standing out, this riff is my top pick |
